Hi! this week I will talk about a movie that is an adaptation based on the autobiography of the Polish composer, Wladyslaw Szpilman, who detailed his survival during World War II, and narrowly escaped a roundup that sent his family to a death camp. A composer and pianist, Szpilman played the last live music heard over Polish radio airwaves before Nazi artillery hit. There, Szpilman struggled to stay alive,even when cast away from those he loved. He spent the duration of the war hiding in the ruins of Warsaw and scavenging for food and shelter. At the end he is rescued by the Russian's and he ended playing the piano in the radio like the beginning.
This is a clear story of fight for your own live and the repercutions that war can bring to your life.
This movie use a lot of wide shots, high angle, medium shots and long shots, because the director wanted to describe briefly the situation that the main character is passing.

*We can see also that the movie use a lot of light in some scenarios but in some cases the director use low light because he wanted to make suspense and to make people feel what main character is feeling during this war time.
*The critical reception was:
The film received extremely positive reviews from critics and Adrien Brody's performance was met with near universal acclaim. The Pianist currently holds a score of 95% on the film rating website Rotten Tomatoes, with the Cream of the Crop critics rating the movie with a score of 94%. Metacritic rates the movie as 85% based on 40 reviews.
By showing Szpilman as a survivor but not a fighter or a hero—as a man who does all he can to save himself, but would have died without enormous good luck and the kindness of a few non-Jews—Polanski is reflecting... his own deepest feelings: that he survived, but need not have, and that his mother died and left a wound that had never healed
